Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
Lived nine to five and he worked his fingers to the bone.
Just barely out of school, came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, oh no

He had no money, no, no good at home.
He walked the streets as soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it's

Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go
Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go

Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
He kept his motor running, but it never kept him clean
They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one"
He married trouble, had a courtship with a gun

Bang bang, shoot 'em up, the party never ends
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend
And now it's

Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go
Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go

"Accidents will happen...", they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six shots to the wind, that child blew a child away yeah yeah!

[ Solo ]

Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go
Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go
Yeah, no!

[ Solo ]

Oh, oh, ooh!
